Introduction Course ObjectivesBy the end of this course, you will be able to use ANSYS to:

• Preprocess, solve, and postprocess a modal, harmonic, transient, and spectrum analysis.

• Use a Restart Analysis to either add time points to an existing load history or recover from an unconverged solution.

• Use the Mode Superposition method to reduce the solution time of either a transient or harmonic analysis.

• Use ANSYS’s advanced modal analysis capabilities. These include prestressed modal, cyclic symmetry, and large deflection analyses.

DynamicsA. Definition & Purpose

What is dynamic analysis?

• A technique used to determine the dynamic behavior of a structure or component, where the structure’s inertia (mass effects) and damping play an important role.

• “Dynamic behavior” may be one or more of the following:– Vibration characteristics - how the structure vibrates and at what

frequencies.– Effect of time varying loads (on the structure’s displacements and

stresses, for example).– Effect of periodic (a.k.a. oscillating or random) loads.

Dynamics… Definition & Purpose• A static analysis might ensure that

the design will withstand steady-state loading conditions, but it may not be sufficient, especially if the load varies with time.

• The famous Tacoma Narrows bridge (Galloping Gertie) collapsed under steady wind loads during a 42-mph wind storm on November 7, 1940, just four months after construction.

Dynamics… Definition & Purpose• A dynamic analysis usually takes into account one or more of the

following:– Vibrations - due to rotating machinery, for example.– Impact - car crash, hammer blow.– Alternating forces - crank shafts, other rotating machinery.– Seismic loads - earthquake, blast.– Random vibrations - rocket launch, road transport.

• Each situation is handled by a specific type of dynamic analysis.

Consider the following examples:– An automobile tailpipe assembly could shake apart if its natural

frequency matched that of the engine. How can you avoid this?– A turbine blade under stress (centrifugal forces) shows different dynamic

behavior. How can you account for it?

Answer - do a modal analysis to determine a structure’s vibration characteristics.

tFuKuCuM

• Different analysis types solve different forms of this equation. – Modal analysis: F(t) is set to zero, and [C] is usually ignored.– Harmonic analysis: F(t) and u(t) are both assumed to be harmonic in

nature, i.e, Xsin(t), where X is the amplitude and is the frequency in radians/sec.

– Transient dynamic analysis: The above form is maintained.

How do we solve the general equation of motion?

• Two main techniques:– Mode superposition– Direct integration

Mode superposition

• The frequency modes of the structure are predicted, multiplied by generalized coordinates, and then summed to calculate the displacement solution.

• Can be used for transient and harmonic analyses.

• Covered in Module 6.

Dynamics - Basic Concepts & Terminology… Solution Methods

Direct integration

• Equation of motion is solved directly, without the use of generalized coordinates.

• For harmonic analyses, since both loads and response are assumed to be harmonic, the equation is written and solved as a function of forcing frequency instead of time.

• For transient analyses, the equation remains a function of time and can be solved using either an explicit or implicit method.

Dynamics - Basic Concepts & Terminology… Solution Methods

Explicit Method

• No matrix inversion

• Can handle nonlinearities easily (no convergence issues)

• Integration time step t must be small (1e-6 second is typical)

• Useful for short duration transients such as wave propagation, shock loading, and highly nonlinear problems such as metal forming.

• ANSYS-LS/DYNA uses this method. Not covered in this seminar.

Implicit Method

• Matrix inversion is required

• Nonlinearities require equilibrium iterations (convergence problems)

• Integration time step t can be large but may be restricted by convergence issues

• Efficient for most problems except where t needs to be very small.

• This is the topic covered in this seminar

Dynamics - Basic Concepts & TerminologyModeling Considerations

Geometry and Mesh:

• Generally same considerations as a static analysis.

• Include as many details as necessary to sufficiently represent the model mass distribution.

• A fine mesh will be needed in areas where stress results are of interest. If you are only interested in displacement results, a coarse mesh may be sufficient.

Material properties:

• Both Young’s modulus and density are required.

• Remember to use consistent units.

• For density, specify mass density instead of weight density when using British units:

– [Mass density] = [weight density]/[g] = [lbf/in3] / [in/sec2] = [lbf-sec2/in4]– Density of steel = 0.283/386 = 7.3 x 10-4 lbf-sec2/in4

• Allowed only in a full transient dynamic analysis.

• Ignored in all other dynamic analysis types - modal, harmonic, spectrum, and reduced or mode superposition transient. That is, the initial state of the nonlinearity will be maintained throughout the solution.

• Calculated from element shape functions.

• Default for most elements.

• Some elements have a special form called the reduced mass matrix, which has rotational terms zeroed out.

Lumped mass matrix

• Mass is divided among the element’s nodes. Off-diagonal terms are zero.

• Activated as an analysis option (LUMPM command).

vibrations to diminish over time and eventually stop.

• Amount of damping mainly depends on the material, velocity of motion, and frequency of vibration.

• Can be classified as:– Viscous damping– Hysteresis or solid damping– Coulomb or dry-friction damping

Dynamics - Basic Concepts & Terminology… DampingViscous damping• Occurs when a body moves through a fluid.• Should be considered in a dynamic analysis since the damping force is

proportional to velocity.– The proportionality constant c is called the damping constant.

• Usually quantified as damping ratio (ratio of damping constant c to critical damping constant cc*).

• Critical damping is defined as the threshold between oscillatory and non-oscillatory behavior, where damping ratio = 1.0.

*For a single-DOF spring mass system of mass m and frequency , cc = 2m.

ANSYS allows all three forms of damping.• Viscous damping can be included by specifying the damping ratio

, Rayleigh damping constant (discussed later), or by defining elements with damping matrices.

• Hysteresis or solid damping can be included by specifying another Rayleigh damping constant, (discussed later).

• Coulomb damping can be included by defining contact surface elements and gap elements with friction capability (not discussed in this seminar; see the ANSYS Structural Analysis Guide for information).
